READING

Text 1 Dear Advisor: Should She Propose?

Dear Advisor,

My boyfriend and I just celebrated three years together. I want to ask him to marry me. My friends say I shouldn't. They say that only desperate women propose marriage. Are they right?

Nervous in New Jersey

Dear Nervous,

Your friends are not right. Today it is fine for women to propose to men. Monica did it on Friends. Miranda did it on Sex and the City. In real life, actress Halle Berry did it, too.

In 2003, the Korbel Champagne Company conducted a survey. They asked, "Should women ask men to marry them?" Sixty-seven percent of Americans said yes. The survey asked women, "Would you propose to a man?" Almost 50 percent of the women said they would. They also asked men, "Would you accept?" Almost 80 percent said yes. Thirty-one percent of women know a woman who has proposed to a man. Experts generally agree. Dr. Linda O 'Connor has a radio talk show about love and marriage. O'Connor says that women who propose are usually educated and self-confident. In addition, their boyfriends usually like strong women. However, advice columnist Susan Fine argues that even women with a lot of self-confidence may need some help with their proposals. Here is her advice. First, the proposal should not be a surprise. The relationship should be serious. She also advises women to do two more things. They should write out the proposal and practice it before they ask for their boyfriends' hands in marriage.


How would Susan Fine answer you? If you and your boyfriend are happy, do not pay attention to your friends. And don't invite them to the wedding.

The Advisor

Ex. 1 Read the statements and write true (T) or false (F). Go back to Text 1 and look for the answers you are unsure of. 1. Susan Fine is on the radio.

2. "Nervous in New Jersey" wrote to Susan Fine.

3 . "Nervous in I\lew Jersey" is a man.

4. "Nervous in New Jersey" wants to get married.

5. In 2003 most women said that only men should propose.

6. Dr. Linda O'Connor is a divorce lawyer.

7. The Advisor told "Nervous in New Jersey" to propose to her boyfriend.

Ex. 2 Answer the questions. 1. According to O'Connor, which adjectives describe women who propose to men?

funny educated desperate strong self-confident nervous weak

2. What two suggestions does Susan Fine make?


Text 2 Divorce: a Fifty-Fifty Chance?

Divorce is a growing problem in the United States and many other developed countries. Although thousands and thousands of happy couples get married every year, more than 50 percent of them get divorced. Two researchers at the University of Washington studied marriage and divorce. They learned a lot from their research. With this information, they created a mathematical formula that predicts divorce. Mathematician James Murray and psychologist John Gottman agree that their predictions are correct almost all of the time.

How do they do it?

A husband and wife talk about a difficult subject for 15 minutes. The researchers videotape them. In addition, they record physical information such as heart rate. Then the researchers listen to the conversation. They watch the body language and look at the facial reactions. After that, they give the couple positive and negative points.

For example, the couple might talk about mothers-in-law. If the husband says, "Your mother is a lot of trouble:' the couple gets two negative points. If the wife rolls her eyes, they get two more negative points. However, if the husband says, "Your mother is a lot of trouble, but sometimes she's funny:' then the couple gets one positive point. If he smiles, they get another one.

In the end, the researchers add up the points. A good marriage has five more positive points than negative points. However, the researchers say that a bad score is not necessarily the end of a marriage. Marriages with bad scores can survive. They hope that couples will use the information from the study to learn to communicate. However, not everyone believes that mathematics can stop divorce. A professor of psychology at New York University says that it is "absolutely impossible" to use mathematics to help a marriage. The scientists disagree. They have studied this problem for 16 years. In that time, they have studied more than 700 couples. Their predictions are 94 percent accurate. It seems necessary for the survival of marriage that we listen to them.

Ex.1 Read the statements and write true (T) or false (F). Go back to Text 2 and look for the answers you are unsure of.

1. Most married couples get divorced.

2. There is a mathematical formula that predicts who should get married.

3. A mathematician worked with a sociologist.

4. For their study, the researchers videotaped couples.

5. The couples took a written test.

6. The researchers gave each couple positive and negative points.

7. If the score is bad, the couple has to get divorced.

8. The formula predicts incorrectly 6 percent of the time.

Ex. 2 Answer the questions.

1. What three things do the researchers look at?

2. Find two examples of body language or facial reactions in the reading.
